Season 1 (2021)
[edit]1. It's About Time
[edit]- [Mark and Nolan are playing catch while throwing a baseball around the world]
- Nolan Grayson: You seem tired.
- Mark Grayson: I'm fine. Just got... a lot on my mind, I guess.
- Nolan Grayson: Oh, yeah? So, what is it?
- Mark Grayson: You're just gonna keep prying if I'm evasive at all, so, um... I'm scared, Dad. What if I can't do this?
- Nolan Grayson: [hearing a whooshing] You hear it?
- Mark Grayson: I do.
- Nolan Grayson: Get ready. [Mark grabs the baseball] Were you nervous?
- Mark Grayson: A little.
- Nolan Grayson: But you caught it?
- Mark Grayson: I did.
- Nolan Grayson: Being a superhero is no different. This is the beginning of a long journey for you and me. Along the way, you're gonna need to do things you don't want to do, or might not think you can do. It's okay to be scared. It's natural to doubt yourself, but if you can push through that, and do what needs to be done, you'll do just fine. Do you think you can do that, Mark?
- Mark Grayson: Yeah. [throws the baseball around the world, hitting and wrecking the top of a mountain, and Nolan grabs the baseball]
- Nolan Grayson: Son... kids your age think they're invincible, and it holds them back, makes them careless. The thing is... you're different. You actually are... [hands Mark the burnt baseball] .. invincible.
- [feeling inspired, Mark smiles. Next scene, he is on Art Rosenbaum's lab]
- Mark Grayson: Got it.
- Art Rosenbaum: Okay, kid. Let's get to work.
- [next scene, Mark is in his new suit, and flies around the city, with sequence followed by the song "Broken Boy" by Cage the Elephant. Then, he sees an explosion on the distance]
- Invincible: Crap.
- [Invincible flies off for the situation, which involves Killcannon having a shootout against the police]
- Killcannon: You guys think you might have bitten off more than you can chew? [points at a building he zapped] That building has a hole in it, look! [the policemen continue shooting his armor, until Killcannon prepares to shoot again]
- Policeman: Shit! [avoids the shot, but is knocked unconscious]
- [just as Killcannon is about to fire again, Invincible emerges and punches through several walls]
- Invincible: [checking the rooms, which are clear from citizens] Whoa... All clear? [continues pouncing Killcannon, and defeats him] You might as well give up. I'm-- [title card is presented]
- [the Guardians of the Globe are summoned to their facility]
- The Immortal: Darkwing, why did you call us here?
- Darkwing: [confused] Me?
- War Woman: So none of us signaled the alert?
- Green Ghost: Oh, God, what's going on? Is it bad?
- [Red Rush suddenly notices someone flying towards the Immortal, and saves him. The attacker is revealed to be Omni-Man, to the Guardians' shock]
- The Immortal: Omni-Man?
- [the Guardians, starting with War Woman, begin fighting Omni-Man, with Red Rush preventing his attacks. Then, Omni-Man grabs Red Rush and begins squeezing his head with his bare hands, horrifically crushing his skull]
- War Woman: NO!!
- The Immortal: NO!! [Martian Man wraps himself around Omni-Man, and the remaining Guardians] WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS?! [he and War Woman begin beating Omni-Man violently, until he breaks free, and overpowers War Woman before grabbing Darkwing's leg, and smashing his head to pieces against the floor. Then, he tosses Darkwing's body to Green Ghost]
- Green Ghost: (horror-struck) Oh, no...!
- [immediately, Omni-Man drives his fist through Green Ghost's skull, killing her, and uses her body as a shield against Aquarus's water attack as Martian Man recovers]
- Aquarus: [to Martian Man] Are you alright?
- Martian Man: I live.
- The Immortal: [helping War Woman up] Someone must be controlling him. He would never do this.
- War Woman: Regardless, it's him or us.
- The Immortal: I choose us.
- [the fight continues with War Woman slamming Omni-Man's face with her mace. After punching her away, Omni-Man grabs her mace, and smashes Aquarus's head with it, killing him. An enraged Martian Man roars, and once again traps and subdues Omni-Man briefly while the two remaining Guardians, The Immortal and War Woman, batter him, drawing whole puddles of blood in the room. Eventually, Omni-Man rips Martian Man's head to pieces, punches a hole through The Immortal's stomach, and breaks War Woman's neck]
- The Immortal: (exhales and whispers) Why? Why?!
- [without saying a word, Omni-Man decapitates the Immortal and, heavily injured, collapses himself in exhaustion]
2. Here Goes Nothing
[edit]- [after a flight around the city, Atom Eve welcomes Invincible to the Team Teen's headquarters]
- Rex Splode: Oh, hey! It's the iceman.
- Atom Eve: Rex...
- Rex Splode: Couldn't have won that fight without you. Oh! Except we did.
- Dupli-Kate: They got old. And ran away.
- Rex Splode: Still counts.
- Robot: Welcome, Invincible. My name is Robot. Apologies for Rex Splode. He's...
- Rex Splode: Unbelievably awesome.
- Robot: Incorrigible.
- Atom Eve: And rude.
- Rex Splode: And bored of this.
- Dupli-Kates #1 and #2: [unison] I'm Dupli-Kate.
- Invincible: Invincible. Which one of you do I look at when we talk?
- Omni-Man: [confronting the Flaxans in their home-planet] You don't seem to understand. Earth isn't yours to conquer. [he then proceeds to savagely lay waste on the Flaxans' world]
3. Who You Calling Ugly?
[edit]- Omni-Man: [in a speech for the Guardians of the Globe's televised funeral] I've fought the unimaginable in defense of this world. I've battled alien tyrants, defeated nightmares from the deep. Gone toe to toe with ancient gods... but no matter what threat I faced, I knew I wasn't facing it alone. Darkwing. Aquarus. War Woman. Green Ghost. Red Rush. Martian Man. Immortal. The Guardians of the Globe. Today, we have lost titans, protectors, heroes, and we are left to wonder... who will save us now? I will, and so will others like me. New heroes answering the call. New champions ready to risk everything to keep this planet safe. All inspired by these great souls who came before us. You will have moments of doubt, of fear, of uncertainty, but in those moments, have faith... [lifts off] and look to the sky. [flies away]
- [next scene, the Graysons attend to the Guardians' private burial along with Eve, and the Guardians' loved ones]
- Mark Grayson: We seriously have to put everyone through this again?
- Samantha Eve Wilkins: The big one's for show, but the public can't know where the actual bodies are buried. Souvenir hunters.
- Mark Grayson: Jesus.
- Nolan Grayson: I was never a Guardian of the Globe, but it was the Guardians who welcomed me when I first arrived on this planet. They were my mentors. My comrades. My friends. They knew the reality of this life. Martian Man was exiled from his own people. War Woman was from a different age. Darkwing... [chuckles ruefully and clears throat] Well, Darkwing made his own kind of solitude. It was a rare, lucky few of us who found someone who understood our path, even rarer if they accepted it. I hope they will rest in peace, but at least they will rest together.
- [the coffins are buried in the holes, as Red Rush's widow Olga, still sobbing, tries to reach her husband's coffin, with Cecil and Ferguson trying to stop her]
- Olga: Get your hands off me! [screams in anguish as she falls off]
- Donald Ferguson: Olga, please, calm down.
- Olga: You wouldn't even let me see him. Josef is finally standing still, and I still can't see him!
- Debbie Grayson: [to Mark] I'd better...
- Mark Grayson: Yeah. [Debbie comforts Olga]
- Samantha Eve Wilkins: [to Mark] You okay?
- Mark Grayson: Me? I... I dunno. It just doesn't seem real. [noticing Olga] That could have been my mom, putting my dad in one of those holes, or me. If this could happen to the Guardians of the Globe, it means that none of us are... [title card is presented with somber music]
- Rex Splode: Okay, just to make it clear, there is no universe in which I wake up at 6:00 a.m., and the world isn't on fire. Come on, Robot. We don't need this boot camp bullshit. It's us.
- Robot: We're not on the Teen Team any longer, Rex.
- Black Samson: Exactly. I'm sure you've had a lot of experience wrangling teenagers, but I was with the Guardians from day one.
- Rex Splode: Wow, thanks, Dad. Maybe if you didn't lose your powers, you might've been there to help the Guardians on their last day.
- Black Samson: I don't know you yet, so I'm going to assume that was a joke, and I don't need to beat your ass until all you wanna do is call me "Dad" again.
4. Neil Armstrong, Eat Your Heart Out
[edit]- [Nolan confronts detective Darkblood in his office]
- Damien Darkblood: Wondered if you'd come.
- Nolan Grayson: You were in my house. You frightened my wife.
- Damien Darkblood: You murdered seven people.
- Nolan Grayson: Maybe it was you. Maybe you came to finish the job you started with the Guardians. You're the demon, after all.
- Damien Darkblood: Hmm... and demons know evil when they see it.
- Nolan Grayson: If you threaten my family again with your conspiracy theory bullshit...
- Damien Darkblood: You'll kill me?
- Nolan Grayson: I won't have to. Who do you think they're gonna believe? Me or you. [covers next to the door]
- Damien Darkblood: [exhales, growling] Won't give up, Nolan. Can't hide truth. Wife already suspects. How long until son does, too?
- Nolan Grayson: Go fuck yourself, Darkblood. [boosts out of the office]
5. That Actually Hurt
[edit]- Invincible: [on Titan misspelling his name] You missed a few letters.
- Titan: Paint costs money and you got a long-ass name.
- Debbie Grayson: Why would you tell Mark that saving lives is beneath him?
- Nolan Grayson: Other people save lives. Mark saves millions.
6. You Look Kinda Dead
[edit]- [A drunken Doug Cheston awakens in a laboratory]
- Doug Cheston: What the...? Hey, where am I?
- D.A. Sinclair: Oh, hello. [chuckles] I know, you're confused, but I'm sure you're used to that. Just stay quiet and still, and soon you'll be feeling better than ever.
- Doug Cheston What? What's going on?
- D.A Sinclair: You're going through a metamorphosis, a miracle that will take you from useless boil on the behind of this crooked world, to a brave explorer charting a shining future for all humanity--
- Doug Cheston: [interrupts] NERD! [guffaws] Who talks like that?! You do! You're a nerd, nerd! [soon finds out he is trapped in a table] Hey! Let me up, asshole! If this is some joke, or some weird sex shit, my dad's gonna sue you into the Stone Age! [lights reveal unfinished cyborg prototypes; horrified] Oh, Jesus! Oh! Oh, shit! [he then notices one of his hands is replaced with a cybernetic limb, and screams in panic] WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
- D.A. Sinclair: No histrionics, please.
- Doug Cheston: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!
- D.A. Sinclair: Or I'll be forced to...
- Doug Cheston: OH, MY GOD!!! [Sinclair slices Doug's throat with a knife]
- D.A. Sinclair: I think we can all agree you're better without vocal cords... and don't worry about those prototypes. You're going to be different. You're going to be beautiful. You're going to be...
- [title card is presented]
- [Nolan returns home to find Debbie drinking and obviously devastated]
- Debbie Grayson: Why?
- Nolan Grayson: Why what?
- Debbie Grayson: Josef, Darkwing, War Woman, the others. Why did you do it?
- Nolan Grayson: I didn't do anything--
- Debbie Grayson: [breaks her glass in anger] DON'T LIE TO ME! I know! I know you killed them, Nolan!
- Nolan Grayson: [dismissively] You're drunk. We'll talk about this tomorrow--
- [Debbie throws the whole wine bottle at him, which he catches. She then marches straight up to him, glaring right into his eyes.]
- Deborah Grayson: Fuck you, Nolan.
- [She goes upstairs to her room, slamming the door. Frustrated, Nolan breaks the bottle by clenching his hand, punches a hole in a wall, then quietly sits down.]
7. We Need To Talk
[edit]- Cecil Stedman: Where's Mark, Debbie? Where's...?
- [title card is presented with suspenseful music]
- [William is driving in the neighborhood until something lands violently in the road, causing him to stop his car]
- William Clockwell: What the hell was that? [the dust clears, revealing the subject to be Omni-Man; stammering] O-Omni... Uh, Mr. Grayson... Are you okay? You look kinda, uh... recently on fire.
- Omni-Man: [pats William's car roof, and looks at the backseats] Where's Mark, William? You were supposed to drop him off an hour ago.
- William Clockwell: Uh, Amber dumped him, and he didn't like my advice, so he went to go find Eve.
- Omni-Man: Call him.
- William Clockwell: His phone's broken. There was this attack at the college, and... and all of a sudden, we were... [interrupted by Omni-Man punching the car roof]
- Omni-Man: Where's Eve?
- William Clockwell: Uh... Mark said she got a place out in the woods, a couple hundred miles west of here. [notices Omni-Man's hands] That's not... blood on you, is it? [Omni-Man flies away in silence] Bye?
- [Cecil dodges Omni-Man's attacks with teleportation]
- Cecil Stedman: [chuckles slightly] I've faced death more times than I can count, but I'll be damned if that didn't put my balls in my throat.
- Omni-Man: This is pointless! You can't stop me.
- Cecil Stedman: Yeah, you're right, I can't. But I can do the same thing I've been doing since I figured out you were a lying piece of shit: I can buy us a little more time.
- [after a brutal battle, Omni-Man savagely impales the Immortal's chest with a single punch, with the world watching in horror on live television. Immortal sticks his thumbs into Omni-Man's eyes in an attempt to blind him. In agony, Omni-Man eventually manages to kill the hero once more, tirefully and horrifically bisecting him and dropping his halved body]
- Invincible: [bewildered with the shocking scene] Dad?
- Omni-Man: [with bloodshot eyes, he addresses to his son] Mark... we need to talk.
8. Where I Really Come From
[edit]- [Mark attacks Omni-Man, believing that he was in mind control, until he stops]
- Omni-Man: It's me, Mark. It's just me. This isn't how I wanted to do this, but I don't have a choice. It's time for you to know where I really come from: [flashback set in Viltrum plays; voice over] I am from Viltrum, but it's not the planet I've told you about: We have created a perfect civilization, but it took all of our strength, determination, and courage to get there. [flashback shows the Viltrumites battling and killing each other] In order for our people to reach their full potential, we had to remove the weak from our society. It was a long and difficult process. [next scene shows numerous Viltrumites dead, with the strongest of them, including Conquest, standing victorious] When it was over, our population was cut in half but what emerged from the ashes was unstoppable. [next scene shows a Viltrumite fleet in space] By the time I was born, Viltrum was already the greatest empire in our galaxy. We decided to make it the only empire in our galaxy. [next scene shows the Viltrumites battling and killing other aliens, and conquering their worlds] Once I was old enough, I joined the war effort. It was hard, but I believe in our cause. Some species resisted, of course, but no one could withstand us for long. Soon, our empire encompassed thousands of planets, but as territory grew, our forces were stretched thin, and our expansion stopped. [a group of Vitrumites are shown discussing] We needed a better, more efficient way to conquer worlds. [in another scene, Nolan is with a group of Vitrumite agents standing being monitored by their one-eyed general] Our most trusted officers were each given a planet to weaken by themselves. I was one of those lucky few. [Flashbacks show Nolan flying to Earth, and a young Mark riding a bike with Nolan and Debbie watching him; voice over] I couldn't tell your mother why I was here. [flashback ends] But that time's come to an end, and now, we need to get Earth ready to join the Viltrum Empire.
- [as Invincible and Omni-Man fight, Atom Eve enters the Guardians of the Globe's room]
- Rex Splode: Eve! [embraces Eve] Oh Jesus Christ, you're okay.
- Atom Eve: I'm fine. What's happening with Mark and Omni-Man?
- Rex Splode: Omni-Man's kicking the shit out of him. The world's gone fucking nuts.
- Rudy Connors: Indeed. I truly hope Mark lives up to his name. To face his father and survive, he'll need to be...
- [title card is presented with sinister music, and with the title being almost completely covered in blood]
- Invincible: How could you do this?!
- Omni-Man: That was your fault. Your stubbornness against the inevitable killed those people. How many more need to die, Mark? It's up to you. And what were they doing with those fragile little lives anyway? Listen to what I'm saying, you know in your heart I'm right.
- Invincible: Right?! About how "pointless" and "pathetic" humanity is? Is Mom's life worthless?
- Omni-Man: In the grand scheme of things... yes.
- [Listening in, Debbie bursts into tears, and Cecil tries to comfort her]
- Cecil Stedman: Debbie...
- Invincible: How could you say those things?! How could you say that about Mom?! LIAR!
- [He furiously starts punching Omni-Man, who grabs him by the wrist]
- Omni-Man: For the first time in your life, I'm telling you the TRUTH!
- Omni-Man: You aren't listening, Mark! My time here has been a speck in the span of my life. You don't know me. I will burn this planet down before I spend another minute living among these animals! [Invincible punches him, but he shrugs it off] Please. [trades several more blows with him] I was wrong to raise you as a human. I should have prepared you better, taught you more. Your life has been soft and painless. You're a Viltrumite in blood only. Well, your true education begins now.
- Omni-Man: You want to die for this planet?! Fine! What's seventeen more years?! I can always start again! Make another kid!
- [After a destructive battle across Chicago, Omni-Man has brutally beaten Invincible to near death, until he remembered Mark's childhood]
- Omni-Man: [angry and desperate] WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?! YOU'RE FIGHTING SO YOU CAN WATCH EVERYONE AROUND YOU DIE! THINK, MARK! You'll outlast every fragile, insignificant being on this planet! You'll live to see this world crumble to dust and BLOW AWAY! EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING YOU KNOW WILL BE GONE! WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER FIVE HUNDRED YEARS?!
- Invincible: [weakly and soberly] You, Dad. I'd still have you. [Omni-Man remains silent, as his angry expression changes to a more remorseful one] Dad...?
- Onmi-Man: Mark? [flies away from Earth]
- Allen the Alien: So... you're a Viltrumite? But you don't work for them? And your dad tried to take over the planet but then left? He just left? That's nuts, man.
- Invincible: Yeah. As far as we can tell, my dad is just gone.
- Allen the Alien: That is super weird for a Viltrumite. They don't just give up. They're relentless. They destroyed my world when my people rebelled against them. They blew up our planet rather than lose it.
- Invincible: Jesus... I'm sorry.
- Allen the Alien: Don't be. From the sounds of it, I'm the one who should be apologizing. If I'd checked my orders properly, I would've seen that Earth was flagged for Viltrumite takeover. I could have warned you.
- Invincible: I would have just gone to my dad and told him everything. Who knows what would have happened then?
- Allen the Alien: I can't imagine what you're going through. Literally. Like, I have no concept of it. With my home world gone, my people had to create breeding camps just to stop us from going extinct. I've never even met my father.
- Invincible: After the last few days, I'm jealous.
- Allen the Alien: The Coalition of Planets will want to hear about you. A power struggle's brewing in the farthest reaches of space.
- Invincible: What kind of power struggle?
- Allen the Alien: The Coalition is trying to unite enough worlds to stop the Viltrumite empire. The thing is... no one's even heard of a Viltrumite abandoning their post. It's insane. It just doesn't happen. This could be the advantage we've been looking for.
- Invincible: Sure. Let me know if I can do anything to help.
- Allen the Alien: I don't get why you're smiling?
- Invincible: Just thinking about everything I've been through. How huge it all feels. But the fact it's just a small part of something much larger makes it all seem more... manageable. I don't know. But it helps.
- Allen the Alien: Sorry to rain on your parade. That happens on Earth, right? Anyway, once they find out your father took off, the Viltrumites are gonna come for you. Trust me, when they set their sights on a planet, they don't give up without a fight.
- Invincible: I'll be ready.
- Allen the Alien: I hope so. What's the plan in the meantime?
- [montage of scenes of various villains to the tune of "Hate To Say I Told You So" by The Hives, and Cecil watching as Sinclair produces more Reanimen; cut back to Invincible and Allen]
- Invincible: Finish high school, I guess.
- Allen the Alien: Oh, all right. Good. Sounds good. [cut to black] What is high school?
Invincible: Atom Eve (2023)
[edit]- Atom Eve (Age 12): I see it all now. Every single molecule around us. I can touch them, taste them, control them. I could rearrange your cells to make you whole new people from the monsters you are. You've ruined my life. Took everything from me. Killed people I didn't even know I loved! I am Samantha Eve Wilkins, and I DEFY you to even REMEMBER who I am!
1. A Lesson For Your Next Life
[edit]- Invincible (Alternate Universe): People of Earth... we know you all feel like we're the bad guys because my dad and I took over your planet. But you're going to be part of the Viltrum Empire now. That means no one goes hungry, no one dies from cancer, and no one ever messes with Earth again. Look, I didn't get it at first either. But I came around and you will come around, too. And in the long run, you'll thank us. But you need to remember, the more you resist, the worse this gets. We didn't destroy your cities. You destroyed them by fighting back. Your new Viltrumite rulers are on the way and it's time to join us in welcoming them. And if you still think you can stop us, don't forget I'm... Invincible.
- (in a mid-credit scene, one of the Maulers bursts out of the debris)
- Mauler: I told him not to take off the damn helmet! (we see that half of his body is horribly disfigured. Then, he hears a groaning nearby) Brother? Is that you? (he digs up the debris to see who it is. He exclaims in shock to see Levy, whose body is horrifically scarred, and his brain overextended) How are you even breathing?
- Angstrom Levy: (labored breathing) What...? What did he do to me?!
- Mauler: You did that to yourself. (referring to his own scars) And this to me.
- Angstrom Levy: He did this... made me a freak... He ruined everything...! (groans in pain) He... He killed so many... people I knew, people I loved... (tears up) Millions died because of him...!
- Mauler: (scoffs) Your brain's scrambled. You've lost track of what memories are yours and which come from the others.
- Angstrom Levy: They're all my memories! All of them!
- Mauler: You need a hospital.
- Angstrom Levy: (coughs up blood, panting) No. I need revenge. I need to make him PAY! I WON'T REST UNTIL I'VE KILLED...!!!
- (The show's title card is presented, now in a black background with red letters. It begins crackling. Back in scene, Angstrom is shown teleporting away)
- Mauler: Fine. Go. Don't worry about me. Just had half my body melted helping you mutilate yourself. That's the last time I work for anyone else ever!
2. In About Six Hours, I Lose My Virginity to a Fish
[edit]- Invincible: Come on, man. Darkwing was at my twelfth birthday party, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't kill people. Also, pretty sure he's dead.
- Darkwing II: Killed by your father, Invincible. Which is why I carry on his work. I was Nightboy, his assistant.
- Invincible: Assistant? What, you mean sidekick?
- Darkwing II: We don't use that term. It's... degrading.
- Cecil Stedman: [via Mark's earpiece] Okay, bring him in. He's lost it.
- Invincible: You think?
- Darkwing II: You hear them too?
- Invincible: What?
- Darkwing II: The voices.
- Invincible: Oh, man... hey, you're coming with me, okay?
- Darkwing II: I'm not going anywhere with the son of a psychopath.
- Invincible: Hey, I'm being nice, so watch it.
3. This Missive, This Machination!
[edit]- Thaedus: (after Allen tells the Coalition of Planets about Mark's existence and his conflict against Nolan) Viltrumite against Viltrumite? That has not happened since the great purge.
- Thaedus: Viltrumites never abandon their missions. Yet one has. Viltrumites do not battle each other, but a son defies his father. These are weaknesses. The first we've found and ones we must learn to exploit. Perhaps Viltrum's grip on the galaxy is not as steady as we imagine.
(upon arriving in Thraxa, Mark is met with Thraxa's ruler. To his shock, Thraxa's ruler is Nolan)
- Omni-Man: Hello, son. It's been a while.
- Invincible: Dad?
4. It's Been a While
[edit]- Omni-Man: Mark! Loo-- I made a mistake. And I've thought about you every day since--
- Invincible: A mistake?!
- Omni-Man: Son--
- Invincible: No, you don't get to call me that anymore!
- Omni-Man: What do you want me to say, Mark?
- Invincible: You could've started with "I'm sorry"! You know what? Don't bother, all right? It wouldn't mean anything anyway. I hope you like it here with your new friends. I guess they don't know you the way that I do. Fuck you.
- Omni-Man: Nuolzot wasn't lying to you; his people do need your help. Let me tell you why--
- Invincible: I don't care!
- Omni-Man: I know that's not true.
- [Omni-Man shows Mark his alien little brother.]
- Invincible: You gotta be... [Cue title card. It cracks, another piece falling. Back to Mark.] ...fucking kidding me!
- Omni-Man: Why? Why do I care about them? They were weak. Short-lived. Barely a species. They shouldn't matter to me…
- Invincible: That doesn't mean they should die.
- Omni-Man: You don't understand! I'm not supposed to feel this way! How is this better?!
- Invincible: This is how you should've felt on Earth.
- Kregg: Good, you're alive.
- Invincible: My dad... what are you doing--?
- Kregg: Don't speak. Listen. My name is General Kregg. You've survived your first true battle and proven yourself worthy of your Viltrumite heritage.
- Invincible: Go fuck your--
- Kregg: [punches him in the face, then nonchalantly shakes the blood off his hand] Your father will be executed, and you will return to Earth. You will assume his mission and prepare the planet for our rule. I know this may not appeal to you, given your sympathies, so I'll put it like this: you can kill a few humans to convince them to capitulate, or we will kill millions if we arrive to find you or your planet still defiant against us. We will check on your progress soon. And unlike your father, we do not change our minds. Good luck on your mission.
- "King" Mauler: I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Why stop at one idiot clone when I can have so many more? [the other Mauler gives him a glass of lemonade, which he drinks] Oof. I hope one of you is better in the kitchen. No wonder your bourguignon is terrible. You can't even make decent lemonade. [starts groaning and choking]
- Mauler: My bourguignon is exquisite, you jackass! And so is my lemonade... when it's not laced with a modified mycotoxin, that is. ["King" Mauler tries to reach out for him before collapsing and dying] And sometimes things are the way they are for a good fucking reason.
5. This Must Come as a Shock
[edit]6. It's Not That Simple
[edit]- (King Lizard points a gun at Rex-Splode's head)
- King Lizard: Mhmm, so brave, but is it the brave man who survives? or is it the one who waits, until his opponent is too injured to fight?
- Rex-Splode: Just do it, you prick.
- (King Lizard shoots him through the head.)
- (Later.)
- King Lizard: Oh, the Guardians are dead, they're so dead, they've made quite the mess of your precious little missile base. I'm not sure you'll ever get the floors clean, again. Agree to my demands and I will consider not destroying half of the Nation!
- (Rex-splode slowly gets up, blood squirting from the bullet hole in his skull.)
- Rex-Splode: Fuuuuuuuuuuck...
- King Lizard: Well, look at this brave little soldier, seems like the loss of your brain, hasn't hurt you as much as one would expect. Oh my, how sad.
- Rex-Splode: [Mumbling.] Shut up...
- King Lizard: [Hard to hear, voice ringing.] Perhaps you're too stupid to realize this, but you're supposed to be dead.
- Rex-Splode: I said, SHUUUT UUUUP!
- (Begins fighting King Lizard, delivering a flurry of punches, before picking him up by the hair and punching him with the stub of the hand he previously lost.)
- Rex-Splode: I. Can't. Believe. You. Shot me. In the Fucking head!
- Continues kicking King Lizard while he is on the ground, as GDA soldiers appear.
- Soldier One: Sir, are you alright?
- Rex-Splode: Why would you- That's a weird question. Im fiiiine, totally good! Never better? You know me! I'm practically- [Slam "INVINCIBLE" title card. Cut back to him staring, before he falls backward onto the ground.]
- Soldier Two: We need to get this guy to an OR now!
- Soldier Three: Get a stretcher over here!
- (a funeral is held for Dupli-Kate; with the Immortal giving a heart-felt speech)
- The Immortal: Kate Cha was a fearless warrior. Though her powers came from a family curse, she believed they were a gift to help those around her. That was Kate's real power. Her unwavering belief that this world is good, even when it killed her over and over and over again. Kate never stopped believing that. And encouraged me to do the same. Kate Cha was a kindred soul.
- (after Immortal leaves back to Earth)
- Allen the Alien: What the hell is that guy's problem?
- Invincible: His girlfriend just died.
- Allen the Alien: Well, now I feel like a giant douchebag.
- Kregg: In order for a Viltrumite to be executed, he must be healed and whole. Worthy to stand and face the end of his life with honour, even if his crime was devoid of it. Yet, for even such a craven betrayal, there is a path to redemption. Rejoin your people, Nolan. Let this not be your legacy. (Nolan sits silently in his chair. Kregg forcibly turns it towards him) You conquered hundreds of planets, brought glory to the Empire. You were one of our greatest warriors. How did a mere moment on Earth turn you into a weak, sentimental traitor?! (lifts Nolan by the throat) ANSWER ME! (still getting no reply, he throws Nolan against a wall) That planet and its people are toxic if they could do this to you. They too will pay.
7. I'm Not Going Anywhere
[edit]- Black Samson: We're not the best super hero team on the planet. We're a family.
- Bulletproof: Oh really?
- Black Samson: And like any family, we're all messed up in our own unique way.
- Invincible: What do you want?
- Anissa: We've studied this planet.
- Invincible: Good for you.
- Anissa: Human civilization has less than an 18% chance of surviving the next two centuries without the loss of billions of lives.
- Invincible: Is that a threat?
- Anissa: That is the truth. The powerful of this world destroy their own home, strip resources for themselves. Large areas of this planet will soon be uninhabitable due to human greed.
- Invincible: Yeah, I know...
- Anissa: Yet here you are, hands in fists, worried about stopping me instead of stopping them.
- Invincible: It's complicated...
- Anissa: No, it isn't. We have the technology to repair their climate, feed their hungry, punish their criminals. We will save more of their lives in a single year than you could in a hundred. You are failing this planet and its people, do not see that?
- Invincible: [stammering slightly] A-At least I don't kill!
- Anissa: Yet you let thousands die every day you resist Viltrumite rule. Or do those human lives not matter to you?
- Anissa: [after killing the sea monster] Humans were dying, so I took action. Much like our Empire will do when it controls Earth.
- Invincible: Yeah... thanks.
- Anissa: Killing you is not my task. But soon, another will come. And if he finds you still resistant to your destiny, he will demonstrate the error of your ways and this whole planet will pay the price. I pray you come to your senses before then.
- Allen the Alien: (after taking a punch from Anissa, and surviving without any major injury) Last time that hurt a lot more.
- Donald Ferguson: We're not our bodies. We're the decisions we make. The lives we change, the people we love... or who love us. I don't need to forget that. And neither do you.
- Invincible: Who are you, and what do you want?!
- Debbie: He made me call you! He said he'd hurt us if we didn't! Mark--
- Angstrom Levy: [grabs her throat] He was talking to me.
- Invincible: Let them go! Now!
- Angstrom Levy: Did you know your identity is public in almost half of the realities you exist in? So careless.
- Invincible: I don't know why you're here... but I'm warning you--
- Angstrom Levy: You...! You really don't remember who I am. Let me help: when we met before, you hadn't done this to me!
- Invincible: Oh God! You're that guy.
- Angstrom Levy: [enraged] "That guy"? That's all you remember of me?! That I was "that guy"?! I am Angstrom Levy, and you made me into a monster!
- Invincible: I didn't do anything to you! Your machine blew up!
- Angstrom Levy: YOU DID THIS! [tosses Debbie and Oliver aside, making the latter scream in fear] I was gonna save the world! All of them!
- Invincible: You need help. Let me just--
- Angstrom Levy: I HAD HELP! I had the best doctors in a dozen dimensions. They saved my life, rebuilt my body, but even they couldn't fix THIS! So now, I'll always have a reminder of you, and what you did. [glances back at Debbie and Oliver; Invincible clenches his fist] Oh, I agree. [smirking] Come get me.
- [Invincible finds himself in a dimension with intelligent, talking dinosaurs.]
- Dinosaur 1: My word! How is this possible?
- Dinosaur 2: It's just the damnedest thing. I-If I wasn't looking right at it...
- Dinosaur 3: I thought sapiens were extinct. I was but a hatchling when I last tasted their succulent flesh.
- Dinosaur 2: Ooh, I want a taste! We can share.
- Dinosaur 1: [growls and headbutts him] I smelled it first, it's mine!
- Invincible: Stay back! No one's eating me.
- Dinosaur 1: [gasps] Egads, it speaks!
- Dinosaur 2: I've never heard tell of a talking sapien.
- Dinosaur 3: I don't care if it sings - I only care how it tastes!
- Dinosaur 2: [headbutts him] Back, you brute! If it talks, it thinks.
- [The first dinosaur lunges at Invincible, who flies out of reach]
- Invincible: Hey!
- Dinosaur 3: [gasps] It flies too! Its wings must be invisible.
- Dinosaur 1: More to eat! I want my taste!
- [Invincible has just entered Agent Spider's dimension and accidentally run down the supervillain he was fighting.]
- Agent Spider: Ohoho! Talk about your bad luck, Prof. Ock!
- Invincible: Oh... shit, are you okay? I didn't mean to--
- Agent Spider: Hey, thanks, pal! Now let's get this guy webbed up.
- Invincible: What? No, are you...? Wait, are you trying to hurt this old man?
- Agent Spider: Ugh. Look, I saw the portal. I know you're from another dimension -- got way too much experience with that. Especially lately. So, uh, trust me: I'm the good guy here, and Mr. Mechanical Arms is not.
- Invincible: Well, you got glowing red eyes, man! How am I supposed to--?
- [Ock grabs Invincible]
- Agent Spider: Oh! Toldja.
- Debbie: You said you wouldn't hurt us.
- Angstrom Levy: No, I said you were safe! As long as your son dies, like he deserves to.
- Debbie: Stop this. Please.
- Angstrom Levy: You think you're innocent in all this? In so many other dimensions, you join your husband and son when they slaughter millions and make the Earth burn! You're a traitor to your own kind! Your family's legacy is blood! [smears some of his own onto her face]
- Debbie: No. Not me. I raised the boy who defied his father and saved this planet! From what you say, these worlds are extremely different. I know the son I raised, and he is no killer!
- Angstrom Levy: You sure about that?
- Debbie: You make it sound like this is the one world where Mark is good, and you're the one who's bad.
- Angstrom Levy: What?
- Debbie: Oh! That's why you're so angry! Because you turned out rotten here, and Mark is the hero for once!
- Angstrom Levy: [snarls and grabs her by the throat again] YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! [throws her into a table, breaking it in half; Oliver cries again]
- Debbie: Oliver! [smacks Levy's face with an ornament]
- Angstrom Levy: [grabbing her arm] I'M... NOT... THE VILLAIN! [breaks her arm brutally] I'M TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD! YOUR SON IS THE MONSTER!
- Debbie: [as Oliver continues crying] Oliver... Ol-- It's... it's... it's okay... I'm, I'm okay... I'm okay--
- Angstrom Levy: Your attack accomplished nothing. [grabs Oliver by the leg] I'm going to make your son hurt. I'm gonna make YOU hurt! I'm even gonna make this child hurt.
- Invincible: No, I mean... You're a man... who dresses like a bat... and your name is... Well, yeah-- I mean, like... don't you think that's kinda lazy?
- Angstrom: Remember those doctors I told you about? The ones who rebuilt my body? They also improved it! Why do you think I sent you across the multiverse, huh?! Why do you think I softened you up?! I don't want you to die in some random dimension! I wanna do it myself! Did you think anything less than killing you with my bare hands would satisfy me?!
- Invincible: STOP!
- Angstrom: [chuckling] No. This doesn't end until you and your family are dead.
- Invincible: STOP... THREATENING... MY FAMILY! [starts relentlessly striking Levy] You have NO idea what I've been through! How much I've been HOLDING BACK! [sends him slamming into the ground, where he pins him down and starts beating him into a bloody mess] I'LL NEVER LET... ANYONE... EVER... EVER... HURT MY FAMILY! [he screams in rage while he delivers a last, earth-shaking blow, killing Levi. Mark starts panting and widens his eyes in horror of what he’s done. ) ...Again. [gags and shouts. He starts sobbing] I thought you were... I thought... I thought you were stronger.
- Invincible: Oh God, oh God, oh God... I had to. I didn't have a choice. I had to kill him. He tried to kill me, he was gonna kill my Mom and my brother. He made me do it. It was an accident, but he made me do it! I didn't wanna kill him! I didn't-- I had to! I had no other choice! I lost control. I wanted to kill him... What does that make me? I thought he was stronger! He told me he was stronger! ...I wanted to kill him, but I didn't know if I could! Oh, God...!
- Invincible: Just keep on ignoring the fact that you killed someone. That's helping you keep it together. Although I don't think talking to yourself is the best thing right now, but it's not like you got anyone else to talk to, right? So inside your head, outside your head, what's the difference?
- Cecil: Mark, look at me. If the bad guys are dead, and the good guys are alive, that's a good day.
- Mark: How do you know the difference?
- Cecil: Well, the bad guys are usually the ones who break people's arms.
- Allen: [talking with Nolan telepathically] We are on the same side now.
- Nolan: No... we're not.
- Allen: You turned against the Empire. Mark told me all about it.
- Nolan: You... you saw Mark?
- Allen: Yes, on Earth. I came to enlist him in the Coalition's fight against your old pals. But it seems you beat me to it.
- Nolan: Leave him out of this, this isn't his fight. Let the boy have a moment of peace. Let me pay for what I did.
- Allen: Yeah, don't worry, that's gonna happen. I've heard the chatter in here. They're gonna execute you, bro.
- Nolan: They are, yes.
- Allen: Most people would be more worried about that.
- Nolan: I'm not a Viltrumite anymore, not really. I feel shame and regret for my actions. I see the suffering of lesser beings, and it... upsets me, deeply.
- Allen: You say that like it's a bad thing.
- Nolan: What I did on Earth... the pain and destruction I caused was immeasurable. What I did to those people... what I did to my son...
- Allen: Yeah, and your people are doing that on a thousand different planets, right now. But you can help us stop them.
- Nolan: I deserve death.
- Allen: [exasperated] Oh, God!
- Nolan: And yet...
- Allen: What? What is it?
- Nolan: [speaking aloud] I think... I miss my wife.
Season 3 (2025)
[edit]1. You're Not Laughing Now
[edit]- (As Mark exercises by lifting a mechanized weight)
- Donald Ferguson: Over the last 90 days, Mark's speed has increased 65%. His endurance 70%. And his strength, and we checked this wasn't a mistake, 138%. Science team is working on a heavier version.
- Cecil Stedman: So, the billion dollar question then, can he beat that Viltrumite woman who made us all shit our pants three months ago?
- Donald Ferguson: We think so. But she implied someone much worse was coming.
- Cecil Stedman: Which is why we're not stopping here, with Mark or any of our other plans.
- Rex Splode: Fuck me! Way to make a fellow superhero feel inadequate. That is not leg day.
- (Mark stops)
- Invincible: Hey Rex. Yeah, Cecil's got me on a training plan.
- Rex Splode: Uh, yeah. I can see that. So, um, how much did all this cost, Cecil? Is this why the coffee maker still broken at the Guardians' HQ?
- Cecil Stedman: We bought you a new hand, Rex. That wasn't cheap.
- Rex Splode: Yeah, and this is the third time I've been back trying to get it adjusted. Look, I'm trying to give you the finger right now and I can't.
- Invincible: Oh man, that's your favorite finger.
- Rex Splode: It's my favorite finger!
- Invincible: It's his favorite finger, Cecil. (shrugs)
- [Invincible confronts Cecil at the Pentagon]
- Invincible: Are you working with D.A. Sinclair?!
- Cecil Stedman: Calm down.
- Invincible: [slamming his hands on Cecil's desk] He turned people into monsters! He almost killed William! He should be in prison!
- Cecil Stedman: He can't fix his mistakes in prison, Mark. Neither can Darkwing.
- Invincible: What are you even talking about?!
- Cecil Stedman: [sighs and stands up] D.A. Sinclair's a genius. Darkwing cracked from fighting endless crime in Midnight City. You don't waste people like that, you reform them. Repair them. Let them make restitution for their mistakes.
- Invincible: "Mistakes"?! They murdered people! Rick still isn't right after what Sinclair did to him!
- Cecil Stedman: Sinclair's new Reanimen are made with donated corpses. Darkwing will never kill again. They both went through severe psychological reprogramming. They save lives now, Mark, and are repaying the very substantial debt they owe us all.
- Invincible: That is BULLSHIT and you know it!
- Cecil Stedman: Is it? You killed Angstrom Levy. Should I lock you up too? Throw away the key?
- Invincible: Y-You know that was different!
- Cecil Stedman: A man's still dead because of you.
- Invincible: And I think about it every single day! But he almost killed my mom and brother!
- Cecil Stedman: Exactly. You were trying to save lives. Which is what I'm trying to do, so... how about you extend me the same privilege and go home?
- Invincible: No! No way. I'm not going anywhere until Sinclair and Darkwing are both back in prison.
- [Cecil sighs and enters the White Room]
- Invincible: [following him in] Did you hear me?!
- Cecil Stedman: Go home, Mark, before you do something you'll regret.
- Invincible: I told you, I'm not leaving until-- wait, why are we in here again?
- Cecil Stedman: Please go.
- Invincible: What are you hiding in here?! Who else is working for you?!
- Cecil Stedman: The White Room is for my protection.
- Invincible: Protection from what?!
- Cecil Stedman: From you, Mark. From you.
- [Reanimen appear and surround Invincible]
2. A Deal with the Devil
[edit]- Cecil Stedman: It's my job to defend the planet from threats. Don't make me put you in that category, Mark.
- Invincible: [surrounded by Reanimen] Do you use these things to keep Darkwing in line? Or Sinclair?
- Cecil Stedman: Darkwing and Sinclair don't have your abilities.
- Invincible: Abilities I only use to help people!
- Cecil Stedman: Who are you helping right now? You see things one way, and you won't make room for any other viewpoint. You threaten people who disagree with you.
- Invincible: I don't threaten!
- Cecil Stedman: No? Because you're scaring the shit out of me right now.
- Invincible: I'm not even doing anything!
- Cecil Stedman: You arrogant little asshole. Look at this goddamn mess. Everywhere you go, destruction follows, because of your ego. You're a hypocrite, waltzing off to help your mass-murdering dad, but God forbid anyone else screws up and then tries to make good. Don't you ever, ever threaten me again. [to the other young Guardians] As for the rest of you--
- [A furious Invincible suddenly rushes Cecil, gripping him by the neck and slamming him against some rubble, much to the Guardians' shock]
- Invincible: I will never work for you again! We're done! And if you ever come near my family again... I will kill you.
- Immortal: OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! The Guardians are the best superheroes in the world! It's a privilege and an honour to work here! Yes, there's hardship! Yes, there's sacrifice! If you children don't like that, GET OUT!
- Rex Splode: Oooh, that's a great idea! Because I'd rather quit than work ONE MORE DAY with a SANCTIMONIOUS, BOOTLICKING, HYPOCRITICAL PRICK LIKE YOU!
- Immortal: [after a short, tense silence] The door is over there!
- Rex Splode: [to his friends] You heard him. Who's coming?
- Shrinking Rae: You know I am.
- Monster Girl: Me too.
- Black Samson: Wait! Everybody calm down.
- Monster Girl: If Cecil did that to Mark, who says that he wouldn't do that to all of us?
- Black Samson: That's a little extreme--
- Bulletproof: [dropping his mop] Fuck it! I'm out too. I can't work for a man I don't trust.
3. You Want a Real Costume, Right?
[edit]- (Mark puts on his new costume)
- Kid Omni-Man: You look amazing!
- Invincible: I don't know. Feels a little serious.
- Mauler 1: Aww, you wanna call for help? Too bad. You can't.
- Mauler 2: And no one else will be able to either, once we destroy the entire planet's communications network with our EMP missile.
- Mauler 1: You'll have to pay to use our shielded system instead.
- Mauler 2: Oh, we're so much worse than supervillains now.
- Both Maulers: We're businessmen!
- Invincible: You can't just kill people and pretend it's no big deal!
- Kid Omni-Man: You killed the guy who broke Mom's arm.
- Invincible: That was an accident!
- Kid Omni-Man: So was this.
- Invincible: Oliver! It's... wrong.
- Kid Omni-Man: Why? You and Mom say I need to be responsible with my powers. Isn't it responsible to make sure that the bad guys never hurt anyone else?
- Invincible: Life is precious. We don't just... take it!
- Kid Omni-Man: It isn't precious! People kill each other all the time, and most people aren't even special like us, they're just normal!
- Invincible: ...You sound just like Dad.
- Kid Omni-Man: So?! Why is that bad? You act like you know everything, but do you ever think that maybe Dad was right?
4. You Were My Hero
[edit]- Nolan: No one's coming.
- Allen: What?
- Nolan: We don't need to worry. No reinforcements are coming.
- Allen: I mean, there was definitely time for the prison to make a distress call back to Viltrum HQ.
- Nolan: They'll know what happen, but they won't come. They can't.
- Allen: Okay, I'm gonna need a little more to go on than an incomplete thought and a mysterious look.
[Nolan looks away from Allen and then back]
- Nolan: There are fewer then fifty pure-blooded Viltrumites left in the universe. This is the empire's most closely guarded secret. It's also why we can beat them.
5. This Was Supposed to be Easy
[edit]- Donald Ferguson: Sir, with this body, I can do more out there than in here.
- Cecil Stedman: You're just gonna get yourself killed, Donald.
- Donald Ferguson: That's what I do, sir.
- Cecil Stedman: [Cecil sighs] Find Brit. Link up with him. And give 'em hell.
- Gogglesible: [holding Rex Splode by the throat] That was pointless. Kind of like your entire life. [squeezes Rex's neck]
- Rex Splode: [grunts and coughs] Ouch.
- Gogglesible: I'm gonna pop your head off, and then I'm gonna catch the others and skin them alive. [Rex grunts as he places a hand on the open wound on his abdomen] Um, if you're worried you're gonna bleed to death before I kill you, you're dumber than even the Rex from my world.
- Rex Splode: [Rex gasps for air] Sure... but I'm the idiot who took you with me!
- Gogglesible: Yeah? How? You're out of shit to explode.
- Rex Splode: [Rex groans as he sticks his hand into his open wound] I've got one... thing left...
- Gogglesible: [pulls Rex closer to him] Mm-hmm? And what's that?
- Rex Splode: [Rex's bones start glowing as he charges up his own skeleton; last words] My entire goddamn skeleton, dickhead!
- Gogglesible: Hmm? [Rex explodes, killing both himself and Gogglesible]
- (The surviving Invincible variants are gathered in the Graysons' former home)
- Omni-Invincible: I hate coming back to this place.
- Maskvincible: Not all of us killed Mom. I liked it here. Reminds me of playing catch with Dad.
- Movincihawk: Aah! What is taking him so long?!
- (Angstrom appears)
- Angstrom Levy: Sorry. I prefer to make an entrance. Not only have you destroyed his planet, but you’ve also destroyed him. Every single person who survives will forever think of this when they remember his name, even if they know it was you.
- Prisoner Invincible: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re awesome. What’s next?
- Angstrom Levy: Find Mark and bring him to me. It’s time we were... reunited, face-to-face.
- Capevincible: Uh, how about we don’t? Your stupid plan got most of us killed.
- Movincihawk: [scoffs] Who cares?! They were weak! I would have murdered them myself eventually!
- Target Invincible: Come on! The deal was we help you, and then you help us take over a bunch of other dimensions!
- Maskvincible: We didn’t all make the same deal, man. I came here to find Mom and bring her back with me.
- Movincihawk: (mockingly) Aw, someone misses their mommy! Wah!
- Maskvincible: We’re all the same person! I’m sure I’m not the only one.
- Unmasked Invincible: I miss William...
- Capevincible: Whatever! It’s all pointless if we’re dead, right? Jesus, I hate you guys. We’re done! Give us our dimensions, now. Or we’ll kill you.
- Movincihawk: Don’t be stupid! If we kill him, we’ll be stuck in this shithole forever. We’ll just torture you instead. Duh.
- Prisoner Invincible: I can get behind that.
- Capevincible: Hell yeah. Love it.
- (Before they can make a move, Angstrom banishes the evil Marks with his portals)
- Angstrom Levy: Huh. I was sure they’d turn on me much later. How disappointing.
- (The alternate Invincibles are shown in the same wasteland where Prime Mark fought Angstrom in the previous season's final episode)
- Capevincible: Angstrom! You're DEAD!
- Movincihawk: Ugh! He can't hear you, idiot.
- Angstrom Levy: [Angstrom grunts, clutching what remains of the arm he accidentally cut off with one of his portals] Fix this. I'm getting my Invincibles and we're going back. This isn't over. [The Technicians stare at him, unmoving] "Technicians." An appropriate name for cold, unfeeling monsters. You're gonna let me bleed to death? Fix me now.
- Technician One: No. [The Technicians begin approaching Angstrom. He uses his remaining arm to attempt to open a portal, but is stopped by the implants in his head, causing him to grunt] Promises were made, Angstrom Levy, and we delivered on ours.
- Technician Two: But we now see your word is without value.
- Technician Three: We had a deal that you failed to honor. You do not get a second chance.
- Technician One: You work for us now. Accept that, and we will tend to your wounds. Refuse, and your remains will gift us endless fascination.
- Conquest: Stand ready for my arrival, worm. You were given orders. You were given time. You were given more leeway than most, and yet, I find this planet unprepared for the arrival of our Viltrum Empire.
- Invincible: This isn't a good time.
- Conquest: The Empire anticipated your resistance, which is why they sent me. I am Conquest, and I am your last chance to fulfill your duty.
- Invincible: You don't understand. All this? (gestures to the ruins around them) This is my fault. So the only thing I want to do right now... is hit something as HARD as I can.
- Conquest: Good. (he and Invincible charge at each other)
8. I Thought You'd Never Shut Up
[edit]- Conquest: Right about now, Anissa would be telling you about how the Viltrum Empire would turn this wretched planet into a utopia. How you would be stupid to resist. I'll tell you no such thing. The truth is? I want you to resist. I'm not here to save you. I'm not here to spread the greatness of the Viltrum Empire! I'm here because I enjoy this. See, to me, there is no greater pleasure than feeling the warmth of my fists drenched in blood. [puts a hand on Invincible's shoulder; Invincible smacks it aside, hitting Conquest square in the face] Okay! That's a start...
- Conquest: Where is your Viltrumite heart? Until I see it beating in my hand, I won't believe you have one. Show me your power! Show me your rage!
- Conquest: I’ve met your father y’know. He showed so much promise when he was younger. And now? He’s dead. Executed just before I left. It’s sad really. I would’ve loved to have seen the look on his face after I told him that I killed you.
- Kid Omni-Man: You can’t fight him alone! But look at him! He’s old as dirt! We can take him down together!
- Conquest: I’m old, not weak. But thanks for coming back. I’m gonna split you in half and eat your heart. How’s that sound?
- Kid Omni-Man: I think that sounds like a bunch of-!
- Conquest: [grabs Kid-Omni Man by his arms and legs, holding him above his head] We’re not done yet. You feel your body starting to rip? First your muscles tear. Then your vertebrae, they separate. If you’re able to focus through the pain it’s your skin next. Pulled to its breaking point, just as it starts to rip. This is going to be amazing…
- Conquest: Ah, such a strong bond. Viltrumites have nothing like this. It's a weakness, really. [licks the blood off of his hand] Delicious.
- Conquest: Ah, I am beginning to understand your affinity for these lowly creatures.
- Invincible: (crying) Eve...
- Conquest: Not long now, huh? If you’ve got anything to tell her, I wouldn’t wait. Oh, too late?
- [Invincible then glares at him]
- Conquest: Good. Now while I have your attention, I wanna thank you Mark. Really. Y’know, it’s not often I get to cut loose like this. Usually, there are so many mission parameters. So many things not to destroy. People not to kill. But for whatever reason, and I don’t really care why, I was ordered to take control of Earth by any means necessary. You did something to piss us off and I thank you for it. This, has been an immense joy.
- Invincible: I don’t care how strong you are. I don’t care how fast you are. I can see the future. You don’t live to see tomorrow.
- Conquest: (laughs) After all I’ve done, after all this, you still think you can threaten me? I dare say, child, you are starting to impress me. Do your worst!
- Conquest: I am so lonely. All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend; they think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Conquest. I don’t even get a real name. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more, and no one sees it. Some days, I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave.
- (Atom Eve revives and blasts away most of Conquest's skin)
- Atom Eve: Jerk... (collapses)
- Invincible: (gasping in astonishment) Eve... how...?
- Conquest: (climbs back to his feet) This time… this time I’ll make sure she’s dead…
- Invincible: DON'T TOUCH HER! (floors Conquest with a punch to the face, then keeps delivering more until Conquest catches one)
- Conquest: Got more than enough fight left in me for you, boy! (crushes Mark's hand, causing Mark to scream in pain) See? More than enough.
- Invincible: Not enough! Not nearly! (starts savagely headbutting Conquest) Is this what you wanted?! You enjoying yourself?! Still having FUN?! ANSWER ME!
- Conquest: I take... the good with the bad.
- (Invincible lets out a deranged roar of fury and keeps headbutting, destroying Conquest's face until his head becomes a bloody pulp)
- Robot: We've lost so many friends these past few weeks and there's so much still to do that it seems strange to pause and gather for a moment like this. But isn't that why we fight? To save or honor even a single life? Rex would tell me to shut up and get to the point, but I know that's what he believed. He was always so confident but also honest about his failings, so sure of himself but the first to confess fear. He was everything I wanted and still want to be. To honor my friend and everything he meant to me, I am changing my name from Rudy to Rex, so that much of him, at least, will survive. I only hope that I can live up to his courage and sacrifice. He will be deeply missed.
- Atom Eve: When you know someone for so long, they're always the same to you. It's hard to let them change or mature, but Rex... he had changed so much. I wish I had spent more time with him.
- (in Hell, Damien Dark blood summons a demon overlord)
- Overlord: I am summoned.
- Damien Darkblood: Forgive me, lord. Would not dare awaken the great beast if didn't bring... welcome news.
- Overlord: Speak, Darkblood. Before I recall how I long to savor the gnashing of flesh in my putrid maw.
- Damien Darkblood: Have means to restore you to infernal throne. Surface dweller of great power, likes of which this planet has not seen for eons.
- Overlord: A surface dweller, you say?
- Damien Darkblood: Yes. With abilities that far exceed any other. His blackened heart will be bound to your service, dark one.
- Overlord: How?
- Damien Darkblood: Have discovered means of conjuring him. Here.
